Most revision timetables fail the same way: one subject gets all the early enthusiasm, the hardest subject gets pushed to the end, and the day before the exam is spent starting something new.
Enter your subjects, your start date, your exam date and how many sessions you can manage a day. The plan rotates subjects so none is left to the end, converts every third pass into an active recall session, and reserves the final day for review rather than new material.
Spending three straight days on one subject then moving on feels organised, and it means everything studied first has three weeks to fade before the exam. Interleaving — rotating between subjects — produces better long-term retention, even though it feels less comfortable while you are doing it.
It also protects you against the common pattern of running out of days with one subject barely touched. Rotation distributes the shortfall evenly rather than concentrating it on whatever you happened to schedule last.
Every third pass over a subject is marked as active recall: close your notes and write down what you remember, then check what you missed. This is deliberately harder than reading, and it is the part that produces most of the learning.
It also gives you honest information. Reading a chapter tells you nothing about whether you could reproduce it under exam conditions; attempting to reproduce it tells you exactly which parts you cannot, which is what should drive your next session.
Three or four focused sessions a day is a lot of genuine study. Plans built on eight collapse in the first week, and then the plan itself becomes a source of guilt rather than help.
Pick a number you could sustain on an average day, not your best day. A plan you actually follow beats an ambitious one you abandon on day three — and if you finish early, extra revision is never wasted.
The plan reserves the last day for reviewing your weakest topics only. Starting new material the day before an exam rarely helps, and it tends to unsettle you about everything else you thought you knew.
Use the day to skim what you have already retrieved successfully, get the practical things in order, and sleep. Sleep consolidates what you studied, and a rested exam performance beats the marginal content gained by working through the night.
Three or four genuinely focused sessions is substantial. Plans built on far more than that tend to be abandoned within a week.
Interleaving improves retention compared with long single-subject blocks, and it prevents any one subject from being left until there is no time for it.
Closing your notes and writing what you remember, then checking what you missed. It is harder than rereading and considerably more effective.
